To solve the problem, we need to match each adaptation listed in the left column with the appropriate organism from the right column based on their characteristics. Let's go through each adaptation step by step:
---
Adaptations and Matching Organisms:
1.
Hump where fat and water can be stored when there isn't any water available
-
Organism: Camel
-
Explanation: Camels have humps that store fat, which can be metabolized into energy and water in arid environments.
2.
Thick fur and blubber to keep the organism warm
-
Organism: Polar Bear
-
Explanation: Polar bears have thick fur and a layer of blubber to insulate them from the cold Arctic environment.
3.
White fur or bright colors appear pure white to predators
-
Organism: Polar Bear
-
Explanation: Polar bears have white fur, which helps them blend into the snowy environment and avoid detection by predators.
4.
Long roots that can go deep into the ground to get at underground water
-
Organism: Cactus
-
Explanation: Cacti have long root systems that allow them to access water deep underground in desert environments.
5.
Strong teeth and claws
-
Organism: Chameleon
-
Explanation: Chameleons have strong claws for gripping branches and sharp teeth for catching prey.
6.
Proboscis (long tube-like tongue) to wrap around tree branches
-
Organism: Butterfly
-
Explanation: Butterflies have a proboscis, which they use to sip nectar from flowers and sometimes to reach food sources.
7.
Covered by prickly projections to protect from predators
-
Organism: Cactus
-
Explanation: Cacti have spines or prickly projections to deter herbivores and protect themselves from predators.
8.
Long eyelashes to protect eyes from sand
-
Organism: Camel
-
Explanation: Camels have long eyelashes to protect their eyes from sandstorms in desert environments.
9.
Can't fly in very cold weather so must migrate South for the Winter
-
Organism: Butterfly
-
Explanation: Many butterfly species cannot fly in cold weather and migrate to warmer regions during winter.
10.
Ability to change color to evade predators
-
Organism: Chameleon
-
Explanation: Chameleons are known for their ability to change color to camouflage themselves and avoid predators.
